Craig, if you're reading this, sorry to address you specifically in
the subject, but I believe you commented once on this and said there was
something wrong (or bad) about doing things this way and I want to make
sure I'm doing things correct since I'm working on that CRUD
example/lesson...
My index.jsp (welcome file):
----------------------------
<jsp:forward page="/employeesSearch.faces"/>
Navigation rule:
-----------------
<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>employeesSearch</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/employeesSearch.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
A managed Bean for "employeesSearch":
-------------------------------------
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>employeesSearch</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>net.reumann.EmployeesSearchAction</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>employeesListBean</property-name>
<value>#{employeesListBean}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>employee</property-name>
<value>#{employee}</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>searchCriteria</property-name>
<value>#{searchCriteria}</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>
Result:
-------
EmployeesSearchAction has a prerender() that fires when index.jsp is hit
and the user is forwarded to the employeesSearch.jsp screen.
Question:
---------
Is the above the approriate way to handle an etnry point into an
application when typically you want to go to somewhere different than
the initial index page and you need a prerender to fire in a backing
bean in order to setup that resulting page you forward(redirect) to?
